[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is confirming what I have thought about teachers at my son's private vs. the teachers at our local MCPS school (where he was previously).

[b]The teachers at his private may be paid less, but they are there because of heart, not money.  I much prefer someone who is passionate about the teaching aspect of the job as opposed to the salary and benefits[/b].  And from what I have gathered, teachers in private schools have more time to teach and interact with students because they don't have to deal with the bureaucracies of public schools.  While I was impressed by many of my son's teachers in public school, I am in awe of the teachers I have met at this private.  These impressive educators have chosen this particular school because they embrace the culture  Nothing beats a teacher that that loves the teaching vs. the salary.[/quote]

What other professions do you say this about? Do you say this about the doctors you deal with? Or the lawyers? When you encounter other professionals, do you ask them, "If you received half the pay and benefits you do now, would you still be in your profession?" and then not deal with them if they say no?

Nobody goes into teaching for the salary.[/quote]
